Cooking Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add your fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set aside.
- While the pasta cooks, dice the boneless skinless chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once shimmering, add the seasoned chicken and sauté for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium, add butter and melt, then add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in the honey, allowing it to blend into the buttery mixture and simmer for 1 minute.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and thickens, around 2-3 minutes.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy sauce and heating through for another minute.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to combine thoroughly with the sauce and chicken, using reserved pasta water to adjust consistency if needed.
- Finally, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the pasta and serve warm.
